The Persian gulf area petro states, or their leaders, have profited really well from the combination of American military and American thirst. Usually I bet they’re happy to throw a little cash wherever we say. But being in the hook for this much money because Trump attacked for no reason and no planning? That has to make them unhappy.
Yet more losing the influence we once had. Winning!?!?
No no you seem to have misunderstood…
The billions are to be paid by the Gulf Coast Coalition. You know, the GCC
I’m aware of where JD Vance is claiming the money will come from.
It doesn’t matter. It still looks really fucking bad.
When they open the Strait because JD promised them they’re getting 300 bill from the magical supertree… who’s the one looking bad?
You don’t think they would close it again once they realize they’ve been tricked?
Bruh.
Sure, but they’ll look like fools
You’re sorely mistaken - the US is the only one looking like fools here.
Yeah sure if Iran gets played by checks notes JD vance and checks again Marco Rubio they’re gonna look like a bunch of friggin masterminds
And we’ll go back to begging them to reopen the Strait while gas prices skyrocket again.
Yeah, I think we just helped Iran figure out their foreign policy and foreign income for the next 20 years
